                     proposed development being considered by Council. The implementation of
                     the plan is to be certified by a suitably qualified and independent acoustic
                     consultant. It will be too late if Council approves the DA and the Peregian
                     Beach Hotel and the developer cannot reach agreement.

                     PBCAI submits that Council would be aware that it will be blamed for any
                     excessive noise experienced by residents of the Reed Beach Houses from
                     the Peregian Beach Hotel, despite its prior existence when they purchased.

                     11.2 Ecology
                     The Visual Tree Report (VTA) states that Paperbark and Macaranga “ have
                     no significance and do not need to be retained. “

                     PBCAI disagrees strongly with this position, believes that these trees must be
                     retained and notes that these endemic species are prevalent along the west
                     side of the David Low Way and in the Noosa National Park – Emu Swamp
                     Section.

                     PBCAI also notes no reference in the DA to the planned disturbance of
                     mandatory essential wetland habitat for the vulnerable Wallum Froglet,
                     Wallum Rocketfrog, Wallum Sedgefrog nor the impact on wet heathland &
                     sedgeplain inhabited locally by the Ground Parrot.

                     11.3 Water
                     PBCAI notes Council’s request for further information.

                     As described under 9.1 above, PBCAI is concerned over the potential impact
                     of run-off from major earthworks and other construction works in close
                     proximity to the wetland reserve and the Noosa National Park –Emu Swamp
                     Section and to the impact of changes to overland flow and natural water
                     courses.

                     11.4 Vista from David Low Way
                     It appears that the Hotel will not obscure the vista of the western mountains
                     from David Low Way but will significantly diminish the vista’s foreground views
                     of the wetland & its intrinsic vegetation. This vista needs to be protected. The
                     accommodation units will be behind and below the Peregian Beach Hotel by
                     about 6m and, therefore, will not be visible from David Low Way, but it is
                     important that they do not exceed the height allowed under the Noosa Plan
                     especially along Rufous Lane.

                     11.5 Pathway through the development
                     It is proposed to provide a public pathway linking Rufous Lane with the IGA
                     and the Hotel and through the Supermarket site to both Sandpiper Lane and
                     David Low Way (via the lift). This pathway is desirable if the DA is approved.

                     However, the pathway through from Rufous Street to the Supermarket will be
                     a sea of hard surfaces and garage doors with little or no street frontages for
                     passive surveillance of the public thoroughfare. The pathway to the
                     supermarket is concealed from view beside Reed Beach House No. 26.
